THE STAR
The Sugar Land Parks Propositions will give the City of Sugar Land rst class amenities for a very small investment in our future. The success of Sugar Land has been achieved by forward thinking citizens who understand the necessary steps to keep our community in high demand. In return, the city has a strong economy, new commercial and retail investment and one of the lowest tax rates in the state for a city of its size. The development of parks and recreational facilities will give Sugar Land:
New 65 Acre Community Park
A new highly accessible 65 acre park centrally located at US Highway 90A and Highway 6
Brazos Park II and Festival Site
Preserve signicant green space and provide functional recreational space

Benefiting Santa’s Exchange
Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital offers free flu shots With fall around the corner and the holiday season not far behind, Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital is once again offering Fort Bend residents the opportunity to “give a gift and beat the flu.” Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital, in collaboration with the Exchange Club of Sugar Land, Fort Bend Exchange Club, Rotary Club of Sugar Land, Rotary Club of Fort Bend and Toys for Tots Fort Bend, is offering free flu shots on Saturday, November 2 to community members who participate in Santa’s Gift Exchange. Fort Bend and surrounding area residents can bring a new, unwrapped toy or clothing item to Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital from 8 a.m. to noon in exchange for a free flu shot. The toys and clothing will benefit local children in the Fort Bend area. “We are proud to partner with the local exchange clubs and Toys for Tots once again to provide this community offering,” said Chris Siebenaler, CEO of Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital. “This is a great way for the community to stay healthy while also putting smiles on children’s faces during the holiday season.” In 2012, Santa’s Gift Exchange provided toys and clothing to more than 4,000 economically disadvantaged children in Fort Bend County. “Everyone's help is needed to meet the challenge of providing toys for our children who will not have toys this year without our help,” said Farha Ahmed, co-chairman of Santa’s Gift Exchange 2013. If you would like to participate in this community event, please bring an unwrapped, new toy or clothing item to the main lobby of Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital between
